How does the program work?

The program is designed for individuals who have some college experience and/or a two year degree from a community college.  If you are interested in the Program we encourage you to contact us so we can hellp you determine if you are ready to begin the program.  Feel free to contact us in advance so we can help you plan ahead to ensure that preliminary course work, including general education courses, will transfer efficiently and help you graduate in a timely manner. 

The program is organized around a cohort model meaning that courses will be offered in regularly scheduled intervals.  This will require careful planning to ensure that courses are taken so that pre-requisites are met and so that all graduation requirements are satisfied.

The program assumes that students will take at least two courses per semester, including summers.  Students will complete the degree program in 3 years if they take all courses in sequence.  We can normally accommodate students who wish to take a full-time load (12 hours) as well.  Students who can attend full time may be able to graduate in 18 months to two years.  Given that course offerings are limited and rotated, the sooner you contact us the better so we can help you plan out your individualized curriculum outline.
